On November 11, Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) announced its financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2025, alongside a second interim dividend. The company declared a dividend of 52%, which translates to Rs 2.60 per equity share of the face value of Rs 5, amounting to a total distribution of Rs 198.02 crores to its shareholders. The declaration reflects CONCOR's commitment to rewarding its investors, especially as it continues to strengthen its position as a key player in the logistics sector under the Ministry of Railways.

Established in March 1988, CONCOR is pivotal in advancing multimodal transport logistics to facilitate international trade in India. The recently declared dividend is set to be paid after November 27, 2025, with a record date for eligibility fixed for November 20, 2025.

In the quarter ended September 2025, CONCOR reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 378.7 crore, marking a 3.6% increase compared to Rs 365.4 crore from the previous year. During the same period, the revenue from operations rose 2.9% to Rs 2,354.5 crore, driven by consistent container volumes and steady demand in domestic logistics. Despite a slight dip in operating profit (EBITDA), which fell to Rs 576.15 crore from Rs 582.46 crore a year earlier, the company's EBITDA margins adjusted to 24.5%, down from 25.5%, primarily due to enhanced operational costs.
